Teach them while they're still young.

On 2nd, August, 2019, we had in studio Nicky September, author of Earthina and Kairo-Global warriors,a children's graphic novel with an environmental message to teach kids about the importance of taking care of our earth.

The book tells a story of  two 11 year old children and how they find out what the purpose of Earth is, on their first day of school. Basically the lead character Earthina  came home to find a book from her grandfather. When she opened the book and she realized that it had spells and potions in it, so she goes on a journey of discovering what her purpose is on Earth and at the end she realizes that she wants to be a global warrior for the Earth .

The book teaches kids about the preservation of the earth but in a fun and exciting way because  you don't want to bombard them with facts that they get bored after a while.

Nicky wanted to start movement and when she heard the words 'global warriors', she just thought that would be an excellent movement  for children to become a part of.

Nicky said, "We want to teach people that we don't have to worry about the Earth when we get to a critical, like with the water crisis in Cape Town, or when people have to literally be carrying buckets of water and then we see that 'oh my gosh this is like a real problem'. We should actually start taking action now already to avoid the critical phases ahead".

Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage. Angels SA wants to purchase a house that will become a safe house for children. ‘’Farieda Moses, [Founder of AngelsSA] has been a role model to me since I knew her. She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.

800 million people around the world are living with obesity.

  4th of March is observed as World Obesity Day and we spoke to CEO Professor Pamela Naidoo and Dietitian Kinza Hussian from The Heart and Stroke Foundation.  So according to the World Obesity Federation, 800 million people around the world are living with obesity. And then also in South Africa almost 65% of women and 30% of men are classified as being overweight or obese. So being overweight or obese increases your risk of having a heart disease or even a stroke, as well as numerous other health problems including high blood pressure or diabetes.  Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat in the body, but it's also very important, you know, where that fat lies.  Bear in mind checking body mass index is something which I'm sure most people are aware of, it's that quick calculation everyone can just do, which is your weight in kgs divided by your height in meter squared, so if that number is greater than 30, that's when we'd say someone's ob...
